The Devil Ant

A small, isolated town is terrorized by a mysterious, insect-like creature with an insatiable appetite. As the body count rises, a disgraced entomologist must overcome his past failures and team up with the skeptical local sheriff to uncover the creature's origin and find a way to stop it before the entire population is consumed.
